Ivory is not horn, antler or bone. In my opinion it should not be allowed and the entrant should be encouraged to enter it in another contest.

But, I agree with Mike----with sincere and great reluctance!!

It sounds like an "advanced beautiful pen" or, if a kit, an intermediate beautiful pen.
HAS to qualify for some category---enter it quick!!

Thanks guys. This was my original thinking when I answered in the thread I linked to.

I would agree, ivory is considered a tooth. Not part of your title. I would steer it to another contest. i have done that with some participants already in the casting contests. It's not always taken well, but rules are rules. That is also a benefit of the pens not being shown until the contest is over.

Tough call. Probably best in another contest. Also with great reluctance.

This person emailed me back asking if he could submit another pen in it's place. The replacement pen is completed and was made as a backup to the one submitted. At the time stamp on his email, he would have had about 4 hours to submit the pen. I should have received the email last nite before the deadline, but for some reason, my emails are not always received or displayed in a timely manor. Because of this delay, I'm inclined to let him submit the replacement pen, unless you can see any problems this may present.

I would allow it.

Agreed, delays on our part should not affect the contestants, and we're all aware this is not a full time job for us (tho some it seems are on here 24/7...:biggrin
As long as the polls have not been posted, I don't see an issue with letting the deadline stretch a little bit...
Since he did initially respond in time, and you disallowed his earlier entry, I'd consider that he submitted it in time, and has max 24 hours to submit his backup...

Yes, he should be allowed to submit it.
